Hey whats all the complication about?

You simply buy from OPT or whomever and it gets shipped and it arrives
a week later, you pay GST if it is over $1000 and it gets dropped off at your door.

I've done many times. Easy as.

No need for middleman or anything.

Ship using UPS, Fedex or DHL. You can use US Postal Service Express mail for smaller items.

Simple and reliable.

You want a Celestron HD?order one through OPT and it arrives a week later once they get it in stock. Forget the local distributor is he is uncompetitive.

Some US suppliers won't ship to Aussie as it violates the agency agreement so check them out first.

Soon the Aussie dollar is likely to be worth more than the US Dollar as the US is probably facing a fairly long recovery from its experiment in greed so it could be an even cheaper place to buy from soon as it still is the largest market so prices tend to be lower because of that.

Greg.
